Aleppo under siege

A fighter from the Syrian pro-government forces mans a riffle inside a damaged house in the recently recaptured village of Joubah during an offensive towards the area of Al-Bab in Aleppo province, on November 25, 2016.

The refugee argued he want to be deported and said: "It's not a better life here.

"I want to work and support myself and I have told them I want to be deported. I've been turning up here for several days.

"They say they are not going to send me back to Syria.

"I will need to buy a British passport and book a private flight to Damascus.

"I used to fight for Assad and I am going to return to do that in Syria.

"Everyone says you will have a better life in the UK and it's not true.

"It's different for minors because they can't support themselves but I'm a normal man and I can.
